the reason half the smart people you know are trans is not actually that being trans has any inherent impact on smartness. it's just that being able to see through and transcend gender is highly correlated with being able to do this for other subject matter too
@hikari surely you can think of more than ten people who used their smarts to specifically not confront their transness
@hikari it kinda has the same ring as people saying programming gives you ~algorithmic thinking~ that transfers and qualifies them for other domains
@rrika yes, i don't think this alone is enough for insight, certainly
